Three-dimensional image display using multiple liquid-crystal panels

Abstract

A new 3D image display using multiple liquid-crystal panels is proposed, that gives true 3D images with wide viewing angle. Prototype system consists of 9 liquid-crystal panels (213mm (H) ×133mm (V)) aligned at intervals of 15mm depth, that can display about 10cm^3 object. Moving 3D images can be realized at a frame per from 0.7 to 1.5 sec. by producing and storing sliced images generated from original voxel data. The resulting image can be observed from any distance and at wide viewing angle (≨21゜).
